Fortnite Update 4.2 Available Now For All Platforms After Delay

The Burst Assault Rifle, changes to Remote Explosives and Damage Traps, and more finally arrive.

Epic Games has released its latest update 4.2 for Fortnite on Xbox One, PS4, PC and mobile. Along with the usual adjustments to Battle Royale and Save the World, it introduces the Burst Assault Rifle aka FAMAS in Epic and Legendary variants. You can find it as floor loot, in supply drops, vending machines and treasure chests.

A new consumable has also arrived for Battle Royale with apples. Found near certain trees, they offer five HP when eaten, providing some kind of health source when in a pinch. Other changes include the Suppressed Submachine Game having its damage and accuracy reset speed increased; the Damage Trap being nerfed from 125 to 75 damage; and Remote Explosives having increased damage radius and throw distance.

The Impulse Grenade will also see an increased drop rate of 5 percent. If that weren’t enough, there’s a new auto-pickup option to simply add items to one’s inventory when walking over them. Make sure there’s enough space in your inventory though. Check out some of the changes and improvements below and let us know what you think in the comments.
